VHS : Scruples [1985]
Not so rags to riches but dresses to gowns this is one of those films to put on a rainy Bank Holiday with a box of chocolates and a full pot of coffee and indulge in a world of Fashion,Hollywood and Blackmail. This film tells the story of Billie Ikehorn a plain Jane who grows up in to a beautiful and stunning woman, marries a millionaire and opens a boutique called scruples. I really enjoyed this film as its not love & sex it has many small stories within the whole story I would recomend this to anyone who likes Lindsay Wagner and Judith Krantz its one of the best....

In my humble opinion this movie has everything. Superb music, some great comedy moments and a brilliant ending. It is most certainly in my top 3 films of all time. Just sit back and enjoy but don't take it too serious 5 stars!!!

A classic Bette Davis, but the quality of the print was very disappointing.

...although I loaned the film to a colleague at work who could not see the point of the film. I kinda thought that was partly the essence of it.

I've since read the book too and have to say that I prefer the film although the novel is very well written but there are a few differences between the two.

Well acted, well shot and it is the stuff of dreams. If you can't see the point you won't see the game...

VHS : Scandal [1988]

Film of the true story that came to be known as 'The Profumo Affair'.

Not a bad movie telling this story, but way over the top with regards to nudity and 'explicit' dialogue. However, the main facts of the time come across pretty well, and also shows both how irresponsibly people can behave in high government offices, and equally how people can be used as 'scapegoats' and 'dropped' at the tip of a hat when necessary.

No one could watch this and not come away from it feeling quite nauseous as to how politics and those in high places behave... Despite all this though, sympathy for 'Ward' (played by John Hurt) does surface at the end.

The film is rather slow, and does not really get going until about ... Read More:

VHS : Breaking Glass [1980]
Lovely punkette chanteuse Hazel O'Connor plays a blinder in the somewhat autobiographic role of Kate, desperate to succeed, whilst maintaining her ethics, in the cut-throat music business.

Hazel's brilliant songs are enough to recommend this movie in its own right but, unlike some musicals, Breaking Glass is far more than just a vehicle to promote the artiste's work. The sense of unease stoked by the rise of neo-Nazi and anarchic groups in late 70's/early 80's urban England and the shadier side of the music industry are expertly recreated here.

Furthermore, Hazel's depiction of the roller-coaster rise to stardom, resulting in mental breakdown, is impeccably observed. Why this hugely talented woman's career as an actress never really ... Read More:

I have had this movie on Video for ages and have wanted the DVD, unfortunatly my only option was to buy the US version, which I have now done. This movie is one of my must sees, a very moving film, which all my friends hadnt seen before and have loved. As to the previous reviews if the book is even better, I will go and buy. This is a must for your DVD collection.

excellent portrayal of the severe, long-term effects of child sexual abuse. Also is very informitive in regards to attachment disorder. We have used this video as a training manual for over 11 years in our parenting classes.

VHS : At Play In The Fields Of The Lord
This movie has an unusually deep moral sense. It also has an unusual respect for each of its characters, including the Indians - and the jungle.

I finally read the book a few years ago and loved it. The movie somehow was able to convey a similar feeling despite not being able to delve into the thoughts of the characters in the way that the book did. These are two closely related but fully independent works of art. It's rare to find a book and its movie that complement each other so well. Great writing on the one hand, great acting on the other.

Because the Indians are treated with respect, even though they are clearly playing roles that fit perfectly into the movie, this movie seems to reveal more about them than any documentary I've seen. It's ... Read More:
